How to configure sensors and beacons
The PILOT Guarda app can display detailed information about your vehicle’s status, such as battery charge, fuel level, temperature, and other parameters.
To make this information appear in the app, you must first:
• Configure the sensors in the PILOT system
• Assign them beacons (tags)
A beacon (tag) is a unique name assigned to a sensor in the monitoring system. Tags allow the app to understand what each sensor represents and correctly display the data on the screen.

How to configure sensors
Sensor configuration is performed in the PILOT system:
1. Open your user interface
2. Select the desired vehicle. Right-click to open the vehicle menu
3. Go to the Sensors tab
4. Create a new sensor or open an existing one
5. Assign the appropriate tag from the table above
The app uses the tag to determine which data to display on the Car condition screen.
For example:
-
If a temperature sensor is assigned the tag garm_on_board_temperature, the app will display the cabin temperature.
-
If a main power sensor is assigned the tag garm_main_battery, the app will display the vehicle’s battery charge.
-
If an ignition sensor is assigned the tag garm_engine_status, the app will display the engine status — whether it is on or off.
If the required tag is not in the list, create it first, then assign it to the sensor.
6. Save your changes
After this, the sensor data will appear in the Car condition screen in the mobile app.
Other parameters that may appear in the vehicle summary:
• Balance — SIM card status of the monitoring device
• Engine temperature
• Door status — open or closed
• Headlight status — on or off
• Security status — armed or disarmed
